PINK SHIRT DAY

Pink Shirt Day (also known as Anti Bullying Day) started in Canada in 2007. Since then, it has been observed every year on the last Wednesday in February.

 

Bullying is a pervasive issue that affects countless lives, leaving scars that can last a lifetime. We believe that every individual deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued.

 

This year, Bow River will be outfitting our U7 through U18 players with pink jerseys as a sign of support for anti-bullying movements and to show that Bow River promotes kindness both on and off the ice. These jerseys will be worn by our teams the weeks of February 15-28.

 

We will be working with our coaches and players to provide anti-bullying tools and supports. Bow River is collecting videos and stories from our players and coaches on ‘what is bullying’ and ‘how can we use hockey and our collective sportsmanship to help combat bullying’.

 

If your player or team has a submission, please send our president an email – president@bowriverhockey.ca

 

Together, we can provide the tools and motivation needed to take a stand against bullying.
